"PIRATED" BLOGS!!

What a bizarre morning! I was chatting with Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist about an hour ago and told her I needed to get going and make something. Mind you, I didn't mention anything about what I was thinking of.

Remember a few days ago, I posted a print of a a girl with a mask and that I was looking forward to creating somthing with her? Well, as I was looking at her I felt she had a bit of a "pirate feel", so I knew that was the direction I was going. I pulled out some of my pirate things (I know, I have waaaaaaaaay too much stuff !) this morning to get inspired.

Then I took a trip to Miss Fancy Pants herself and could not believe what I saw! THE most amazing Pirate Ship!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

What are the chances she and I would post about the same theme, as it were, on the same day. I mean, pirates?

I've had Vanessa listed as one of my favorite artists for a while but truth be told, she's one of my favorite blogging people, too. She's an amazing writer, funny as hell (oh yeah, I swear- the pirate in me).

Anyway, it was just one of those cool moments that happens every once in a while. Serendipity, right? Oh, there I go swearing again!

He gardens with you and now he's sailing with you too! Gee Donna you do lead a damsel-life!!! Love the ship and can't wait to see what you cook up with all those goodies... I'm not the least bit surprised that you have a 'pirate box' too, those Scots were devils at sea!!!

Oh my...Johnny Depp is a favorite...it brightened my morning...hehe. I love the pirate dreams paper you have to start your "Pirate Dreams". I can't wait to see what you make! I got my birthday crown yesterday that mom had you make for me!!! What a wonder and so well made - Thank you thank you!!! I admire everything you make...even that poor zebra...

That pirate ship is amazing. Makes me think of the Movie Goonies. Not quite so romantic as Johnny though.
Your friend Vanessa is pretty incredible. What a talented person, but I am sure your dreaming up something grand too for your pirates
treasure, can't wait to see

Haaarrr! I saw Vanessa's ship, too! She is extremely talented and a hoot! As for Mr. Depp's pirate persona - I think that stock in Maybelline must have skyrocketed after the first "Pirates" movie -that eyeliner...swoon! Btw, Donna, I always love the comments on your blog - you DO inspire wild and wacky! Love it!

Oh, there you go again - making my day! I was just reading along - loving your post, loving two friends thinking alike, LOVING the pirate ship filled with treasure and then, THEN you go and give my a little Johnny on top of it all! Mmmm, he's like the cherry on top... :)

What a gorgeous man, I mean ship, I mean, oh my goodness, how did this bottle of rum get here, right on my desk top, I mean I LOVE all that pirate synchronicity with Constance stowed away below deck sewing costumes for all of us!!!!

Somehow I knew when you mentioned pirate it would come back to that hunk!It's bad luck for a woman to be found aboard ship, so you'd have to stow away or disguise yourself as a man.Then some terrible storm unfolds and the ship would sway and you would be thrust into Johnny's arms... to be continued
I do love the ship with all the bling!I wonder if Vanessa was having a similar dream when she created it. Susan

Dear Donna,
While at Noelles, I was creating a Pirate costume for Williams for Halloween. So, YES we are on the same wave. Can't wait to see what you create with your cool print!
Miss Fancipants ship rules. It is so creative and beautiful!
ps.
I have been working on your Gray Opera Bag today!!

Well shiver me timbers...it's happened again...I know you were saying something here.....but for the life of me Johnny shivered it right out.
oh right,Darling Vanessa, I adore her..simply adore her!
Wait who were we talking about again? Damn, Johnny just gets me all "yo ho and a bottle of him"!
XOXO
